+Friendica Social Communications Server
+======================================
- Mistpark
- Distributed Social Network
+http://friendica.com
+Welcome to the free social web.
-Mistpark is a social network without boundaries. Mistpark installations can
-link together into a global social network which is free from central
-control. We are developing connectors to seamlessly communicate with many
-other open social networks and providers - GNU-social, Diaspora, Status.net,
-and even some of the larger closed services such as Facebook and Twitter.
-Over the coming months, the boundaries between these networks will start to
-become indistinguishable as they all become part of your social circle.
+Friendica is a communications platform for integrated social communications utilising decentralised communications and linkage to several indie social projects - as well as popular mainstream providers.
-Your personal thoughts and conversations belong to you - and are shared with
-those you wish to share them with.
-
-Period.
-
-Mistpark is secure, and as private as you wish it to be. Our privacy settings
-are straight-forward and simple, because we know that relationships rarely are
-(straight-forward and simple). Whether you're communicating with drinking
-buddies or potential employers, you can rest assured that each is only able to
-see the side of you that you wish to present.
-
-A single instance of Mistpark Server can easily support hundreds of (and up to
-several thousand) people using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these
-people are able to connect with potentially hundreds or thousands of friends
-and associates on any other supported network anywhere in the world and share
-photos, links, status updates, etc.
-
-But maybe you don't want to be connected to the world... That's OK too.
-Mistpark may also be closed off from the global community and used to support
-social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private
-communities. This makes it an excellent choice for the social networking needs
-of young teenagers and especially k-12 organisations.
-
-Every person on Mistpark has unlimited profiles available to them. There is a
-"public profile" which can be seen by anybody. Additional profiles may be
-tailored to specific groups or individuals.
-
-Groups may be created and used for closed conversations. In this way your
-conversations with one group of friends is completely isolated from other
-friends or groups of friends.
-
-IMPORTANT: Please see the file INSTALL for system requirements.

-
-It's your network now. If social networking isn't what you thought it would
-be, help us to make it better.

+Our mission is to free our friends and families from the clutches of data-harvesting corporations, and pave the way to a future where social communications are free and open and flow between alternate providers as easily as email does today.
